The Slacker's Guide to U.S. History
The Bare Minimum on Discovering America, the Boston Tea Party, the California Gold Rush, and Lots of Other Stuff Dead White Guys Did
The worst book I've read all year. The introduction was entertaining but all the “factual” parts were terrible. Mixing pop culture and history, in this case, just did not work. Jokes were overused (everyone, let's lay off CSPAN for awhile, we know no one watches it) and most of the time were neither funny nor relevant. I think I know less about US history now.
